About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem

Featuring raw oysters and fresh seafood with international influences from executive chef Eddie Barrett, BeetleCat is a trendy restaurant and bar in Atlanta’s Inman Park neighborhood. The menu transports you to the New England coast at the upstairs dining room and oyster bar, while the downstairs Den lends itself to a 70s surf shack. Enjoy fresh air on one of the two patios, both upstairs and downstairs. BeetleCat is open nightly for dinner and offers brunch in the Den on Saturdays and Sundays.

    The food was fantastic. Don’t miss the Moqueca Stew and the Lobster Roll. Absolutely divine. The menu had something for everyone in my family!

    I went with a friend and it was heavenly. We shared the Fry bread- you won't regret ordering it. Not to be greedy but I could eat one by myself lol I got the kale salad which was huge and I had leftovers! My friend enjoyed the beef salad. We shared a dozen raw oysters which were all delicious! Also, my friend got the sangria and I had the Royal Hawaiian, both were good. And the vibe is lovely upstairs.

    We had a lovely dinner at Beetlecat last night. We sat downstairs which was nice and cozy and quieter than upstairs. The food was outstanding. Some of the highlights were the ceviche, the fry bread, and the moqueca. We shared all of those things and more between 3 of us. But, the best thing about the meal was the service. Our server, Destiny, was outstanding. She really knew the menu inside and out and had awesome recommendations for both food and cocktails. She really made the dining experience 5 stars!

    Yay for Destiny! And we're so happy to hear how much you enjoyed the good food and good vibes, Sumarie! Hope to see you in again to try even more deliciousness!

    One of our favorite restaurants in Atlanta. They have the BEST Lobster Roll we have ever had, and we have done the Lobster Roll Trail in Maine. I bring customers and out of town guests here every time we are in Atlanta. Oh, and their selection of oysters are really good! They are fresh, delicious, and different.
    BeetlecatResponded on April 12, 2025
    LOVE to hear that, Chris, and thanks for bringing your friends along with you to enjoy the delicious Lobster Roll! We'll see you in next time!
